Its really true. If GSP did go up to 185 he would be a really small opponent. Most of those guys walk in to the ring at 205+. He would be at a disadvantage to start with. I see him bein a dominant force at 185 but not good enough to take on guys like hendo, wandi(if he moves down), and franklin. He would definatley have to walk away with a win from one of them to even diserve a shot at silva. Im not baggin on silva, but there really is no competition at 185 besides the three i mentioned. Franklin is the type of fighter that silva likes. Franklin goes in and test the water and before you know it, silva had already figured you out and put you down. Thats why hendo did so well. Didnt let silva get the “feel” for him and thats why thats my silva fight. Now you take Forrest griffin with an iron jaw, wont tap, work horse mentalitity and we have a formula for fight of the year. Sorry, i just dont see silva making it to ten wins.

Perhaps he should. Besides the Matts, who else is there in the division. Do every two fights, most involving a Matt always end with a mandatory defense and another beatdown by the man we know as GSP? Is david louiseau ever gonna be the smae fighter? He was so dominant i believe in middleweight before franklin decisioned him in 5 rounds, and he never was hte same again. and why can’t different leagues have inter-league battles. UFC fighters used to frequent to Pride FC, why can’t this happen with all this crappy Affliction and strikeforce…. theyre keeping the fans from watchign the best fights out there. Have some champs of each league occassionally cross, or co host co promote some events to get fans more involved. it’s only common sense. great fights bring great fans. pc out! :)

If GSP wishes to move up to MW division, then he should proceed sooner than later. He is in the prime of his career and taking a little risk doesn’t hurt.

Now this is an angle I have yet to ponder. GSP in the MW divison eh? I wonder how his chin would hold up more than anything. Other than that, I think this guy is a force anywhere within reason. Brian who would you throw at him to test the waters to see if he could hang up there? I say Bisping would be a great challenge as he had to move down, and GSP would have to move up. This lets us know that size would not be an issue more so than skill. Great aspect here.
